Frommer's Review

Beloved Gerry Sanger is a retired wildlife biologist who spent years researching the waterfowl and ecology of Prince William Sound. Now he carries up to six passengers at a time on whale, wildlife, and glacier tours from his speedy 30-foot aluminum boat, which has a landing-craft-like ramp perfect for pulling up on gravel beaches and suitable for wheelchairs. Gerry's success rate at finding whales is better than 90% since 1999, and he has gone years without missing once. His shorter, 5-hour tours usually do not encounter whales. Fares include snacks, but bring your own lunch. Gerry is considering retiring again, so this may be the last year to take his tour.
